I agree that handing out cards in appropriate ways is very effective, but handing them out at random and to people who aren't interested doesn't help you get business or credibility as a busienss person. Personally, I don't even give them out to most of the people I network with unless I know a relationship has started or they ask for a card. Thanks for the comemnts Kiera.

I agree that the "shotgun" approach is ineffective. However, the generalisation that giving out cards doesn't work, is inaccurate. ONLY giving out cards, and not taking the time to relationship build is ineffective. What a terribly rude MAN you met. And I agree here with Donna Marie, gentleman is far from apt. Networking ettiquette is an essential business strategy. Networking is about relationship building. I agree that the “shotgun” approach is ineffective.

Donna-Marie you can call him whatever you like, lol, but in my books a gentleman would have at least introduced himself before eating breakfast next to me!

I shouldn't be, but I am still amazed at the number of people who have little clue about how to network effectively. I completely agree.

What a rude gentleman! (Can I call him a gentleman?) It's surprising how many people do like to hand out their card without even having a conversation with you. Great comments Tash.
